@KerinPollMerino Very impressive 👌🏻

[Chad Baker @Chad_Baker31]

@Poltalloch We use @FuelloxFMS. It is good but sometimes takes a while to sync when you open the app. Apparently they are fixing it but no luck yet.

[Chad Baker @Chad_Baker31]

@KerinPollMerino Good to hear. We have irrigated Hummer fescue which really performs under intense grazing and always in nice vegetative state, however lambs don't do that great on it compared to our rye grass/chicory based pastures. Cattle on the other hand do really real.

@MountHesse Is this an Optiweigh for sheep?

[Chad Baker @Chad_Baker31]

@KerinPollMerino Thats great! What time of year do you class out the daggy ewes and do they go into a maternal group or out the door?

Upgrades to the Mt Hesse workshed before we wean our lambs. Replaced the riverina mesh pens with timer rails and revamped the flooring using FRP grating.

@ovidor1 We put young ewes on canola regrowth after grazing rape and seem to be eating.

[Chad Baker @Chad_Baker31]

Feeding ewes for maintenance over joining waiting for the autumn break to arrive- another 40mm should do it.
